Catch the Flipgrid Fever

It is everywhere. You can’t escape it. The “Apocalypse of Student Voice” has taken over the world. Do you have it? Have YOU caught #FlipgridFever? Don’t worry, there is a cure. You must SPREAD THE FEVER! Use the powerful (and FREE) student voice tool Flipgrid in a number of fun and easy ways in your classroom to share your students’ voices with the world. It is EASY! It is Free! It is FUN! Sign up today and catch the #FlipgridFever!

Create a “Grid”. Free accounts get 1 Grid while Classroom “pro” accounts get unlimited Grids. Think of a grid as a bundle of Topics or questions. I am on the free account and it is manageable for me so it is a great place to start without any investment. Choose a name that is easy to share. I named mine “Badiner”.

Your Grids will look like the image below:

Start Sharing!

Create a Topic. Think of this as a question or concept students will record about.

Make sure to adjust settings as you want. Consider privacy, moderation, and student ability to reply to posts from other students (Classroom Accounts Only).

Post a topic to your class.

Share the Topic Code with your students and watch the magic happen!

Once students are done you can “Freeze” the Topic so others will not add to it.
